First UK flight on Skiathos airport

From Steve InSkiathos who witnessed the first UK flight of 2017 coming in on Skiathos airport last Wednesday. The first UK flight arrived (early) amid much fanfare. A nice welcome given by the new airport operators with two fire trucks spraying an arch over the plane as it taxied in. (You could almost hear the screams of the passengers thinking that they were on fire!). The local authority were giving out gift bags, Skiathos Life were doing interviews and the smart new security staff were everywhere. The WiFi works great (WiFi Hotspot is the name of the connection you need). All going so well then 50 minutes to get all the cases off……..not everything has changed!
